America will soon be one large Prison [View all]
Not just the new Immigrant Detention Facilities that are going up across the country that will hold tens of thousands but also trumps new plan to eliminate homelessness by arresting people living on the streets.
Trumps executive order directs the U.S. attorney general to seek, in appropriate cases, the reversal of Federal or State judicial precedents and the termination of consent decrees that impede the United States policy of encouraging civil commitment of individuals with mental illness who pose risks to themselves or the public or are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves in appropriate facilities for appropriate periods of time.
While this proposed facility in Utah looks harmless enough and humane, the truth is it will house/imprison people who dont want to be there, who can't leave, and the facility will be staffed by low wage overworked employees, in a high stress environment who are more likely to brutalize the patients than treat them.
